Congratulations to Chilok Mak ’27 on becoming this year’s Congressional App Challenge winner for District 14. Rep. Kathy Castor visited Berkeley to surprise Chilok with the news of his win.

The Congressional App Challenge supports middle and high school students in the creation of their very own app. Each congressional district selects a winner to present their work on Capitol Hill in the spring.
